U.S. recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara

“Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States has been unequivocal: we recognize Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and support Morocco’s serious, credible, and realistic Autonomy Proposal as the only basis for a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable solution.”

Editorial explanation

Why it is included

The Department of State (Office of the Spokesperson) explicitly states that the United States recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. This is a concrete official policy position with high public impact because Western Sahara is a long-disputed territory; most international fora and many states have regarded the status as unresolved or negotiated under UN processes. The claim is directly supported by the cited official source.
